[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So really it isn't as good of a deal as it may seem to others. Because you ultimately don't really have access to the family money (absent a deal for milestones). And for a man, is it unlikely to have the milestone type agreements? I imagine the daughter would want to continue the lifestyle she is used to, [b]so the family would help with houses etc. But then is the house still in the family's name, etc? So the husband can "enjoy" the lifestyle - but like he's renting it and not ever having true access to it (although his children would)?  Also seems strange that your children would have insane amounts of money but their father is, in effect, a normal salary person.[/b] [/quote]

Yes. This is how it is with both SILs and DILs in our family. We offer significant help to the spouses if they choose to take it--more education, money to start businesses if they can present a viable plan and allow oversight--but many over the generations haven't taken advantage of that. They don't want to be indebted, but they also want the lifestyle handed to them. [/quote]
